Hi Stefan,

Thank you for your anwser.

Actually, I wrote wrong, the server's mas is 255.255.225.0 - The
server still has a Fixed IP, just the client is automatic.

I try to put a server name in hots file. It doesn't work too.

At 'diagnoses conection', in IboConsole, i get:

Ping: 'TCP/IP Communication Test Passed!'
21: 'TCP/IP Communication Test Passed!'
FTP 'TCP/IP Communication Test Passed!'
3050: 'TCP/IP Communication Test Failed!'

Att,

Tomio
